Wrasse stocking for a 50 cube with about 15 gallon sump

Coris can be awesome/beautiful but beware they will not allow you to stock ornamental shrimp, tube worms, snails, crabs, etc...all will be seen as food LOL

This is a hit or miss phenomenon. Many people have no issues keeping adult Halichoeres wrasses with ornamental shrimp, tube worms, snails, crabs, etc.

My Coris had no problem with shrimp and snail but my Christmas wrasse kill all the shrimps I put in..I saw with my eyes.
 
Oh and mine can flip over a soft ball sized rock with no issues great at keeping pest away but gotta use a lot of glue lol

Should be ok but mixing wrasses are hit or miss. Just depends on the individual fish. Use an acclamation box to be safe. Once the aggression stops put the second one in the tank.
